Nice spotted, I forgot to change arg names of the empty function, when
I updated the patch. Guess, it is an argument for moving the "if
defined()" into the function body.

It just looked strange to have such a big ifdef block inside the
function.  I also earlier had it define another def and use that inside
the function, but then the code-reader would not know if this new def
was/could-be used later (nitpicking alert...)
